This article needs references to clarify
Otherwise, it appears to be the editors interpretations only. Alien666 13:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

The second was indeed the Theravada. Huifeng 02:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Sarvastivada vs. Tibetan Buddhism
I don't think it's appropriate to structure the article around conjecture and an image of Tibetan monks. This clearly associates Tibetan rpactice with the subject of the article whereas it was my impression tha tin reality it seems most evidence linking Sarvastivadin texts exists in Gandhara or north of Tibet in the former Buddhist kingdoms of the Taklamakan. prat (talk) 03:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Tibetan monks are technically from the Mulasarvastivada Nikaya (they follow the Mulasarvastivada Vinaya), and the Mulasarvastivada Nikaya has its basis in the Sarvastivadins of Mathura, so far as we know. So the Tibetan monks are technically a subdivision of Sarvastivada. The "early Buddhist schools," first and foremost, were basically vinaya lineages. Tengu800 03:41, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Details of Philosophy
This section provides some valuable information, but unfortunately isn't referenced in detail. In particular, one of several theories on the connection between the Sarvastivada and the Mulasarvastivada is being presented as fact without attribution- that the Sauntantrika developed into the Mulasarvastivada. --Spasemunki (talk) 06:27, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Question
So I was doing some research and on the the German page of the Ritsu school of Buddhism I came across this quote "Im Shingon-Ritsu wurden zusätzlich zum Shibun-ritsu das Bonmōkyō (梵網經, das Brahmajāla-sūtra), das Yugaron (瑜伽論, das Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra), die Regelwerke der Sarvastivada, sowie die drei Hauptschriften von Dao Xuan verwendet." I cannot understand German, the reason why I was on that page is because google translate is relatively competent at translating it into readable English. And in English that passage states that the Shingon-Ritsu school of Japanese Buddhism follows the Sarvastivada vinaya. I was under the impression that no one did because the lineage that followed it went extinct. Could someone look into this or clarify?
